Senior Project Coordinator

1. Entity Background:

Transparency International Lebanon-No Corruption (TI-LB) is Lebanon’s leading advocate for transparency, accountability, and good governance. Since 1999, TI-LB has been on the front lines of the fight against corruption, working to strengthen institutional integrity across Lebanon’s public and private sectors. As the national chapter of Transparency International, we believe in more than just envisioning a corruption-free society—we are actively making it happen by driving change, empowering citizens, and holding institutions accountable.

With a people-centered approach, TI-LB tackles corruption from multiple angles, guided by a robust Impact Matrix that emphasizes three core areas: Policy & Institutional Change, Behavior Change, and Awareness & Outreach. We operate as a guiding thread and conveying channel between international organizations, civil society, and citizens, creating a chain of dialogue and collaboration that promotes a participative approach to anti-corruption efforts. This continuous exchange of information fosters transparency, ensures well-informed communities, and bridges gaps between global standards and local needs.

To achieve meaningful, lasting change, TI-LB builds robust, long-term partnerships with a network of dedicated national, local, and international organizations working across Lebanon. These partnerships enhance our strategic reach, propelling TI-LB to deliver anti-corruption initiatives that are both globally aligned and locally impactful. By combining international standards with deep community engagement, we ensure that our programs not only meet global benchmarks but are also highly responsive to Lebanon’s unique governance challenges and diverse community needs.

2. Scope of Work:

The Senior Project Coordinator will work across a portfolio of TI-LB projects, with approximately 40% of their time allocated to coordination and implementation support across several ongoing projects, based on organizational and project needs. The remaining 60% of their time will be dedicated to the BINA II project, where they will provide more focused coordination and operational support to ensure the timely and effective implementation of activities and follow-up with relevant partners and stakeholders.

BINA II is an EU-funded action that strengthens civil society engagement in governance and reform implementation in Lebanon. The project covers EU-CSO dialogue, capacity building for CSOs and municipalities, Financial Support to Third Parties (FSTP), and national advocacy on transparency and accountability.

The Senior Project Coordinator will support the Project Lead / Senior Project Manager in ensuring effective coordination, follow-up, documentation, and timely implementation of BINA II activities. The assignment will focus on operational coordination, partner accompaniment, activity tracking, meeting follow-up, field monitoring, reporting inputs, and evidence collection.

A key part of the role will be to support the operational follow-up of the FSTP component, including coordination with sub-granted CSOs, municipalities, and/or CSO-municipality partnerships. This includes maintaining regular communication with partners, following up on implementation progress, supporting field visits, collecting narrative inputs and means of verification, and ensuring that TI-LB maintains a strong, visible, and documented presence throughout implementation.

The Senior Project Coordinator will also support general TI-LB project and office coordination priorities as assigned by management, including workplan follow-up, internal coordination, partner communication, meeting documentation, event preparation, reporting inputs, and cross-project action tracking.
